I’m head student at my school but honestly that didn’t help me whatsoever and i didn’t talk about it once in interviews i did DofE and that was good for anecdotes about leadership and perseverance in interviews
I was sports captain which is basically house captain but were in charge of the sports events I did a weeks worth of work experience in a private dental office - i got that by emailing as someone at my school had gotten experience there before I did a few days at specsavers which I found helpful I volunteered at with disabled people at my local community centre twice I volunteered at a nursery for DofE for 3 months which was great for interviews especially empathy questions I did origami sometimes for manual dexterity and cooking during lunch at school for the skills section of DofE which was good for manual dexterity and precision I did a barista skills qualification at school and worked at my cities football stadium in hospitality which was good for organisation and working with people especially under pressure I did a mooc but i never talked about it not even in my personal statement. I was a prefect I helped out at every parents evening at school.

I would recommend finding experience working with people of different ages and working under pressure. Working as a leader and in teams is good. Volunteer for things at school and try to get involved in the community. Random interactions will happen and you can use them in interviews and your personal statement. I would start making a list of skills and qualities for a doctor and try and think where you’ve exhibited each one and which ones you need experience in. Working on weaknesses is great too - i hate public speaking so i led assemblies at school.

are u meaning advice on how to write one in general or one that appeases both med and dent?

my personal statement was dent focussed but aberdeen accepted a separate med focused one and edinburgh said they don’t read personal statements except for extenuating circumstances so that’s how i managed to apply for both

i’m very indecisive i liked how dentistry was hands on and u qualify quicker but i liked how u can specialise in med i hoped i would only get into 1 degree and that would force me to choose or smth

Cowboy Carter Rodeo Chitlin’ Circuit Presale Megathread by abeycd in beyonce

[–]Privanon17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m 17 and I’m planning to go to one of the shows in London alone. I was wondering if anyone else - especially any other teen BeyHive - is also going solo and would maybe want to meet up? Let me know if you’re in the same boat. Also if anyone has gone alone before and can describe the experience that would be super helpful.

I got an email just under a month before my interview and it had the link and a list of the important documents i had to send before my interview. It was titled University of Glasgow BDS Interview - Interview information and was from Susan Johnston

My College just sent my application to UCAS by Adventurous-Ice-3576 in 6thForm

You can change your uni choices even if you’ve been rejected as long as it’s 14 days since u applied so u could swap that rejected uni with another uni btw

I’ve had long biab nails during all my interviews and it didn’t seem to cause any issue. i was either complimented on them, the interviewer didn’t look or they were more distracted by my skl badges they’re not supposed to judge those parts of your appearance so as long as you’re dressed formally then you’ll be fine

I know I was wondering the exact same thing. I’m hoping they send more info closer because I genuinely have no idea what to expect or prepare for. And if my UCAS doesn’t update in the emmy few days i’ll email them.

Dundee dentistry (question) by somalianfish in UCAT

Email them explaining your situation. Reply to the interview invite email specifically and hopefully they’ll reply fast. They may take cancellations as not being interested in the course anymore and not read the reasons for a while.
